Mason and Dixon, Pennsylvania

Mason and Dixon is an unincorporated community in Franklin County, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.[1]

History

The community lies at the Maryland—Pennsylvania state line,[2] which once marked the Mason–Dixon line. A variant name was "Mason-Dixon".[1] A post office called Mason And Dixon was established in 1868, and remained in operation until 1955.[3]

gollark: Hmm, so, designoidal idea:- files have the following metadata: filename, last modified time, maybe permissions (I may not actually need this), size, checksum, flags (in case I need this later; probably just compression format?)- each version of a file in an archive has this metadata in front of it- when all the files in some set of data are archived, a header gets written to the end with all the file metadata plus positions- when backup is rerun, the system™ just checks the last modified time of everything and sees if its local copies are newer, and if so appends them to the end; when it is done a new header is added containing all the files- when a backup needs to be extracted, it just reads the end and decompresses stuff at the right offset
gollark: I don't know what you mean "dofs", data offsets?
gollark: Well, this will of course be rustaceous.
gollark: So that makes sense.
gollark: I do want this to be able to allow just appending extra new versions of files to an archive for backup purposes, see.
